New Miami Marlins Mike Redmond has talked things through with star slugger Giancarlo Stanton, who had been very public in his criticism of the team’s salary dump, the Miami Herald reported.

"I reached out to him," Redmond said Tuesday on SiriusXM's Inside Pitch. "I've been through that as a player, where guys have been traded, and it's tough. I appreciate the fact he's upset. As a player myself, and now as a manager, that's the kind of intensity and fire you want in your players.

"I told him how much he means to this organization and to our team. He understands what is at stake as a player, and what he has got to do to go out there, and not only to be successful for the Marlins, but to have a great year for himself and his family. I'm not worried about him. I know he will be ready for spring training, and ready to help us win ball games."

As recently as last week, Stanton, 23, was upset about teammates being traded, during the season, such as Hanley Ramirez, but especially after the season, including five to the Toronto Blue Jays—All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes, right-hander Josh Johnson, left-hander Mark Buehrle, catcher John Buck and infielder-outfielder Emilio Bonifacio.

“They talked about that, a winning philosophy, and how they were building a winner to play in the new ballpark,” Stanton said of Marlins management to MLB.com’s Peter Gammons, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported. “They talked about me and Jose. They talked about how they’d have Jose and (Bonifacio) and Hanley in front of me and how they would go get a bat to protect me.

“Jose, Bonifacio, Hanley … all three are gone now. I had people warn me that something like this could happen, but it runs against the competitive nature every athlete has, that nature that everything is about winning. This kind of thing is what gets talked about all the time around this team. Former Marlins come back and they warn us. It gets talked about during the stretch, in the clubhouse, after games, on the road. Again, I do not like this at all.”

Earlier this week, Marlins president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest told reporters that he is aware that the organization faces challenges to appeal to Stanton, potential free-agent targets and South Florida baseball fans.

"I know these guys live together," Beinfest said, according to MLB.com. "They are under the spotlight every night. They build a different kind of bond. I'm sure this has been tough for (Stanton)."

FOXSports.com also reported that Reyes and Buehrle are upset, too, after being traded despite assurances from the team, which as a policy doesn’t include no-trade clauses in contracts, that they wouldn't be dealt.

"Speaking for myself, I'm not aware of any assurances," Beinfest said this week. "I will tell you, if they came from me, they'd be in writing in a no-trade clause. I don't know. I'm not aware of it.

"Generally, with these types of deals, when you're talking about money and with sophistication of agents now today, most everything that is pertinent is in writing."

Reyes signed for six years, and Buehrle for four but played only one season in Miami. Beinfest acknowledged the blockbuster trade, as well as the reaction from the players involved, might affect the perception of the team among current and future free agents.

"I think it will be a factor," Beinfest said of future signings. "I don't think that we're happy about this, at all. I understand that there may be some disdain in the marketplace. It's not going to be my recommendation that we change our view of no-trade clauses.

"It is what it is. We will deal with it. I think it will be a factor. We won't know until we get into those negotiations with free agents, or we show over a sustained period of time that we operate in a certain manner. It's definitely not great for the club, and we're going to have to deal with it."

The other huge backlash has been among South Florida fans, who have been vocal in their criticism and vowed to make their unhappiness known with their wallets.

"I think we can only speak to our actions now," Beinfest said, in addressing fans’ anger. "I understand the pause that our fans have with the instability in our roster, and the instability in our manager, and general instability within a time that we were hoping to be very stable here in a new building."

But the bottom line, the Sun-Sentinel noted, was the Marlins, even with a $101 million payroll, finished 69-93.

"I'm not real big on asking for patience,” Beinfest said. “This is the major leagues. This is a major-league ballpark, and people expect major-league entertainment for their dollar.

"I'm not going to say, 'Hey, be patient with us, and let's wait for this guy and this guy to get ready.' Our expectation is we're going to provide major-league entertainment right off the bat. Hopefully, we're going to win a bunch of games. Hopefully, our young players will grow up quickly into the types of players that we're hoping they will be."
